Nasal congestion can be managed naturally by addressing mucus buildup, inflammation, and sinus pressure. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil clears airways, while saline rinses remove irritants. Warm fluids like chamomile tea thin mucus, and anti-inflammatory foods like ginger reduce swelling. A humidifier maintains airway moisture, and elevating your head at night aids drainage. These methods improve breathing, reduce discomfort, and support the body’s healing, offering a reliable alternative to medications with fewer side effects and a focus on holistic recovery.
